At the Academy of Music in Malmö, Peter Spissky from Czechoslovakia found an opportunity to develop his interest in baroque music – a genre that didn’t suit the political system in his homeland. Through his research on how gestures taken from speech, acting and dance can be compressed into the movement of the bow, he hopes to come closer to the lively, vibrant playing that is at the heart of the g

Research is like solving a puzzle, some might say. One of the biggest of these is the body’s proteins – with over 90,000 pieces to keep track of. LUM meets three professors of protein to understand what makes the subject so fascinating and how they are working to understand when proteins go wrong in the body. If a research field were to be evaluated based on the number of Nobel Prizes it has been

One of the two recent Lund University jubilee stamps depicts the young diabetes researchers Anna Edlund and Jones Ofori. They are pleased to be featured on the stamps – but it was a complete surprise to them both. “Obviously we knew that our picture had been taken.

“Do you want to see what a box jellyfish sees and experiences when it rides a roller-coaster?” “We humans believe that what we see is reality, but it isn’t. It is an eminently human reality, filtered through our eyes. The visual world of animals shows different realities”, says Dan-Eric Nilsson. Almost 40 years have passed since Dan-Eric Nilsson arrived in Lund from Gothenburg as a doctoral studen

Vid olyckor eller terrordåd där radioaktiva ämnen misstänks vara inblandade kan det vara svårt att klargöra ifall människor i omgivningen utsatts för strålning. Men genom att analysera mobiltelefoner eller andra kroppsnära föremål går det att få viktig information om strålningsexponeringen. Det visar en ny avhandling från Lunds universitet. Dessvärre inträffar det då och då olyckor som innebär att

Diabetes är den vanligaste orsaken till amputationer i västvärlden. Nu visar en internationell forskargrupp att blodfettssänkande läkemedel av typen fenofibrater minskar amputationsrisken med 36 procent. Orsakerna till att diabetespatienter kan tvingas amputera en del av en fot eller ett ben är flera. Dålig blodcirkulation, nedsatt känsel i fötterna och diabetiska förändringar av fotens anatomi är

Frågan om den akuta sockerbristen vid djupa insulinkänningar skadar hjärnan har undersökts många gånger men resultaten har varit motstridiga. Nu visar en studie på tonåringar med typ 1 diabetes att inte ens upprepade blodsockerfall med medvetslöshet eller kramper som följd på sikt påverkar hjärnan negativt. Hjärnan kan bara utnyttja socker som bränsle. Blir halten av socker för låg påverkar det om

Lina Ejlertsson, a doctoral student in Public Health at Lund University, believes that there is a classic approach to working with and measuring health in workplaces through sick leave rates, productivity and efficiency. – Most often, rehabilitative measures or preventative work are only undertaken after employees become ill.

Att anställa en barnflicka eller au pair gör föräldrarna mer jämställda, men medför nya former av ojämlikhet inom och mellan familjer. Samtidigt tvingas barnen gå igenom svåra separationer till följd av branschens kortvariga anställningar, visar en studie från sociologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet.

Varje år dör flera tusen personer i förtid i Sverige till följd av luftföroreningar och det finns tydliga bevis för att människor som bor i områden med sämre luft har högre dödlighet. Forskare har räknat på vad som händer om man tar bort avgaser från bensin- och dieseldrivna fordon i Malmö och vilka effekter det ger på befolkningens hälsa. Deras beräkningar visar att i Malmö är det sju gånger fler

Det är den giftiga varianten av proteinet tau som tros vara orsaken till att nervceller i hjärnan dör vid Alzheimers sjukdom. Nu visar en ny studie att spridningen av giftigt tau i hjärnan hos äldre människor sker via kopplingen mellan nervcellerna och att det är proteinet beta-amyloid som påverkar och underlättar spridningen av tau. Forskarna tror att dessa fynd kan ha stor betydelse för behandli
